A heartfelt thank you to Christ the Good Shepherd Church and its congregation for their generous donation to Cottages United!

What an AWESOME day!

A huge THANK YOU to the more than 2,000 runners, walkers, volunteers, sponsors, and community members who helped make this year’s Awesome 3000 another incredible success. The weather held up nicely for the most part, with just a little rain that certainly didn’t dampen anyone’s spirits!

This event simply would not be possible without the amazing support of our community. From our dedicated volunteers who worked tirelessly behind the scenes, to our generous sponsors who help bring this tradition to life each year, we are so grateful for each and every one of you.

Thank you for showing up, cheering loud, running hard, and making memories with us once again. We’re already looking forward to seeing everyone back next year for another Awesome 3000!

A huge thank you to our amazing volunteers who help make this event a success each year, this event is not possible without you!

We’re also incredibly grateful to our Presenting Sponsor, Capitol Subaru, along with all of our generous sponsors for their continued support.

We can’t wait to see everyone at the starting line tomorrow!
